You Don't "ALWAYS" Need A New Computer

I have received a great many of questions from people who have asked me to work on their computer and have stated that the last person they talked to told them they need a new computer. In all actuality if your computer has at least a 1.6 Ghz processor and 1gb of Ram, unless you are a gamer or something like that, you really don't need to go buy a new computer. Largest part of the time you just need the computer cleaned up with a good OS and System maintenance program such as Advanced System Care from www.iobit.com.

I have cleaned up and worked on many systems that were getting slow and was said to have to many issues and the person was actually fixing to buy a new computer until they found out that it can actually be cleaned up and will at that point run like it did the day it was purchased. In all honesty you can also look at upgrade options such as possibly a faster processor, more ram, a larger hard drive, what ever you need. Many of these places tell you that you need a new computer because they are hoping to sell you a new system rather than fixing what you have in which fixing it is 100% possible.

I have seen to many cases in which a person has taken their computer to a shop, they were charged 100 bucks or more to be told their system can't be fixed, the place sells them a new computer, when in all actuality a clean up or a system restore was all that needed to be done to get the system back up in running  the way it was when it was originally purchased new. Sure maybe it can use a minor upgrade but not a complete new system for $500+

If the computer is completely dead, will not power up and do anything and it isn't a laptop, then the computer is 100% fixable with only needing replace the component or software that went bad. Now the reason I say what I do about laptops is they are the major exception, if you have mother board failure in the laptop, finding a replacement mother board and getting it installed can be very expensive. Not always but it can be.

Always remember if you take your computer in to a shop and they tell you it has major issues and would be cheaper to buy a new system they are quite wrong because the parts really aren't that expensive and can be replaced again with the exception to some components of a laptop.
